Rewind Day

Tru woke up with a start jumping upright. Her breath was heavy from her 'dream'. She looked around trying to remember where she was and saw Luc sleeping peacefully. She got out of bed as quietly as possible, scribbled down a note to her boyfriend and got dressed. She was out the door and running to the morgue within minutes.

She ran inside and began opening slabs relieved to not see Jenna there. She wished she could ask Davis for help but the C.O.D. was gunshot wounds thanks to a home invasion.

Trying to clear her mind, Tru called Lindsey to tell her something came up and decided to 'borrow' Harry's car and drove to the only place to eat in this town for a cup of hot java. It was there she saw the object of her most recent 'mission'. Jenna was sitting in a booth with a fair-haired guy. The guy she was with when she died was a brunette. Tru slid into the booth next to the couple. Pretending to read the menu she watched them

"of course I understand, Rick"

Jenna said, putting her hand over his.

"just stay safe and I'll get the groceries or something, Salvatore's don't have any real food"

She motioned to the – now - empty plates.

"Thank you Jenna"

The man said pecking her lips before she slid out of her chair. Tru watched as the woman grabbed a purse and walked out of the Grill with no backwards glance. The man that was with her paid their bill, headed to the bar and had a few drinks with a raven haired man. Deciding to skip on launch with Lindsey she decided to follow the woman.

Tru smiled to herself as she saw Jenna's car stop in the parking lot of Mystic Market. She sent a text to Harrison to not join her and pulled an army knife she always carried around with her. quickly she slashed both of Jenna's car rear tires before standing up and heading into the store herself.

Grabbing the necessary items to make pizza she bumped purposely onto Jenna's cart and sent her phone flying. Apologizing profusely she handed the phone back. The name and number on display said 'John Gilbert'

"I'm so sorry"

She apologized. The slightly older woman smiled friendly

"It's alright; I didn't want to talk to him anyway"

"Annoying boyfriend?"

"Annoying brother-in-law actually. I'm avoiding him"

Jenna laughed. Tru decided to play on it

"Tru"

she thrust out her hand

"Jenna"

they shook hands.

"trying to make pizza?"

she asked looking at Tru's cart and Tru nodded

"if I don't burn down the house in the process"

"been there done that. I set fire on my college dorm while trying to reheat pasta"

Jenna laughed and said before exiting the market

"I should get going now before my ice cream melts"

Tru nodded thoughtfully. Jenna had given her no clue on how she planned to spend the day. With a sudden smack of reality she remembered she slashed the woman's tires.

"Oh for crying out loud you annoying jerk"

Jenna was kicking her slashed tires. Tru walked up to her and popped open her trunk. after placing her groceries inside she turned to Jenna.

"car problems?"

Jenna sighed and nodded.

"someone slashed my tires"

she growled angrily. Tru opened her eyes wide comically

"the lowlifes of this town"

"can you give me a lift? I know we just met but..."

"sure. hop right in"

During the short car ride, Jenna decided it was better if she'd call Alaric about the car, but he didn't pick up so she left a message on his machine. .

"Hey Alaric, it's me. Don't freak out but something happened to my car. If you can take a look at it later it's be great. Love you!"

"the boyfriend?"

tru asked trying to make conversation.

"yes, I wanted to give him the heads up incase he sees the car. he's over protective"

Jenna laughed off. Tru smiled, launching into a story where her ex-boyfriend (aka the professor) had gone through a possessive phase. Soon the car ride was filled in with laughter as the two women realized they attended the same college and had enough common friends to even cover Jenna's thesis and Tru's job down at the morgue.

"Hey wanna head out and watch a movie?"

Tru asked, the woman besides her did die of a home invasion, so staying out was deemed the best solution. Jenna thought about declining thanks to the whole Klaus the vampire hanging around town, but decided to ignore Elena's opinion and accepted.

"sure, I've got nothing to do anyways"

with that, Tru drove the u-turn heading to the movies.

Oddly enough Jenna picked a vampire movie to watch. Moments after the movie ended Tru smiled to herself seeing how the T.O.D. if Jenna had passed. She was about to ask Jenna where she wanted her to leave her on her way to work

"Hello?"

Jenna said into the phone, getting out of the bathroom.

"Elena? What's wrong?"

Instantly pulling on a motherly voice, but hung up with a scream. Her eyes glazed over as she ran outside with Tru hot on her heels.

Tru watched wordlessly as a brunette teenage girl with curly hair grabbed Jenna. Tru watched as the girl pressed her arm to Jenna's mouth and slowly Jenna slipped unconscious to the floor.

"hey"

Tru shouted drawing the teenager's attention to herself

"now what?"

the teenager growled before attacking Tru. In a wild dance of kicks, and punches, the teenager was seriously kicking Tru's butt. as a last resort she thrust her army knife in the girl's chest.

For once in her life, she didn't stick by to wait for the paramedics to save her, she grabbed Jenna's arm and half-carried, half-dragged her to the car before speeding away to the her apartment.

It was a good thing she didn't stick around to see Klaus pulling the knife out Katherine's Chest. The original hybrid was so pissed off at her incompetence that decided she'd do a mighty job as the vampire necessary for his ritual.

However Tru missed one more thing that night. The call for help from a certain Jonathan Gilbert, as he gave his life to save Elena's. But like Jenna said, no one really likes him.

THE END
